Saturday in Food

Today was so good for the soul! The sun was out, I got some time to myself this morning while my mother in law watched my youngest, I got a super cute haircut and got to spend quality time with my youngest. My husband and oldest were off skiing so my youngest and I had a quiet but great day.

For breakfast I noshed on 1 c. shredded wheat, 1 c. 2%milk, a pear and coffee.
Lunch was basically a repeat of last night. I had a bowl of Two Color Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Sweet Potato Soup (I could only eat about half, I got full!), a toasted piece of challah spread with a little butter and Marmite, some raw veggies with half of a snacker pack of Costco hummus, and 1 c. kefir.
There is a large hill masquerading as a small mountain in our town that my youngest and I walked today. It's about a mile or so up to the top and walking up it is quite a popular past time in our town. We walked up for about 10 minutes until the little one got tired, then turned around. It's the experience right?

While we are in no means near Hollywood, I swear I saw this Vanessa Redgrave walking up the mountain while we were going down. Spitting image of her at least!

For dinner, my youngest and I headed to IHOP. He wanted pancakes and I wanted not to cook. I hadn't been to IHOP in a couple of months. I was so proud of them for their effort to promote healthier eating!!! They have a new section of their menu called IHOP for me. All of the things on the IHOP for me menu were under 600 calories and had more fruits and vegetables and whole grains. I chose the Spinach, Mushroom and Tomato Omelette with fruit which IHOP said weighed in at 350 calories. It was made out of egg beaters and was surprisingly big. It was chock full of spinach and mushrooms. I could have done with a side of turkey bacon, but whatever. :) I was just glad we were able to enjoy a nice meal out without it undoing my good food day.

My Friday in Food

Hi Everyone! I had a great Friday in Food. I must confess, I almost caved today and went to McDonald's because the afternoon was so busy, BUT I regained my joie de vivre and served myself a glorious lunch instead. Thanks to all of you for keeping me honest! For breakfast, I was not very hungry. I think the fish from last night was still with me! So I served myself two pieces lite whole wheat toast with butter and Marmite spread on them, about 8 walnut halves, coffee, and 1 1/2 c. smoothie made from 2 c. kefir and 1/2 c. triple berry blend from Schwan's.
Now, doesn't this lunch look WAY better than McDonald's? I had my Rock Island Stuffed Tilapia leftovers from our dinner at Red Lobster last night, a salad of romaine lettuce and grape tomatoes dressed with olive oil and vinegar, two cracked pepper Triscuits (I got full and didn't eat all 4), 1/2 c. cottage cheese for some dairy, and a glass of water.
For dinner: A bowl of Two Color Broccoli, Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Soup with a cheesy crouton, 1/2 c. cottage cheese with a pineapple ring, 4 sticks of celery spread thinly with cream cheese, and about 1/2 glass of wine that had gone past it's prime sitting on our counter. Everything ROCKED except the wine past it's prime.

Have a great weekend everyone!
